“African drumbeats. Hip hop & torch singers. Cuban bolero & guaguancó. Featuring music by Cuban legends, Santería devotees, and divas from around the globe, the beats in this playlist—like my debut memoir My Mother in Havana—sing with spirit and passion, merging like rivers to summon the saints and the gods, to wake us up to where we are wholly alive, deeply rooted, and connected to every other living thing.”
